With essentially two model lines in production, the British sportscar marque always seems to have another new model to debut. And the next looks to be the V12 Vantage Roadster.<br /><br />Joining the limited-edition <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/05/geneva-2009-aston-martin-v12-vantage/">V12 Vantage</a> coupe and its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/24/aston-martin-taking-on-the-nurburgring-24-hour-enduro-in-v12-van/">endurance racing</a> counterpart, the muscle-bound drop-top should carry over the 510-hp 6.0-liter twelve, but trade a couple of ticks off the coupe's 4.2-second 0-60 time in exchange for the open-air experience. With barely-disguised test mules already spied, sources suggest the V12 Vantage Roadster is being prepared for its debut at the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/FrankfurtMotorShow/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> in September.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090512.029/aston-martin-vantage-v12-roadster-spotted-for-first-time">WCF</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/13/spy-shots-aston-martin-v12-vantage-roadster/">Spy Shots: Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 13 May 2009 09:29:00 EST.
